This Is What a $30,000 Ugly Christmas Sweater Looks Like

The world’s most expensive ugly Christmas sweater is now here. Just when you thought you could escape the holiday trend, Tipsy Elves and Swarovski teamed up for a special collaboration. Their dazzling sweater features 24,274 Swarovski crystals, took 52 hours to make, and retails at an eye-popping $30,000.

This isn’t the first time Swarovski unveiled a jeweled creation, as evidenced by the outfit the brand created for model Josephine Skriver, worn at this year’s Victoria’s Secret fashion show. It featured 450,000 Swarovski crystals and took more than 600 hours to make.

This extravagant sweater debuts just in time for the holidays — and also in time for National Ugly Christmas Sweater Day, which is Friday.

Luckily, if you don’t have $30,000 to spend on your holiday sweater this year, we’ve rounded up 10 equally cheeky options that might be a better fit for your budget.
